Waimea Bay Surfing Drone Video.

Details

The most famous surf contest in memory of Eddie Aikau almost happened today, but the ocean had different plans. The swell filled in during the afternoon and there were a lot of big waves being ridden. These are some of the gnarliest drone shots I have gotten of surfing. Many near crashes with waves and definitely lots of spray on the drone after every flight. Well worth it.

***Added because so many people have been asking what drone this is. This is my disclaimer: Do not use DJI products. Their drones are extremely faulty, cheaply made, and DJI has the worse customer service when their products fail. I have personally experienced and I have seen many drones malfunction, crash or fall out of the sky as a result of drone/battery malfunction. I have been using DJI drones for a couple of years and I was hoping they would get more reliable with their product and services and I am still hoping.
